He bought it to make money and now he's whining because it went bad. He wasn't dealing with the poor, he was dealing with some other financial institution that sold him a bill of goods. He got bamboozeled by some other rich guy and deserves every bit of pain it brings him for not being as smart as the shark who unloaded that crap on him.
